Friends of Clontarf Hill WA

Directions Website Contact the organization

Friends of Clontarf Hill WA FoCH is a community organisation that has been working together since 1992 in the Fremantle Area, WA Please see our website or email us for further information.

Friends of Clontarf Hill has recently become a registered charity organisation and all donations are tax deductible. Clontarf Hill is an important natural remnant in the social surroundings of the Fremantle/Hamilton Hill area. The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage has listed Clontarf Hill as a Registered Aboriginal Site. The dominant canopy on Clontarf Hill is the tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephala). The tuart woodlands and forests of the Swan Coastal Plain were included on the Critically Endangered list of threatened species and ecological communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act in July 2019. Friends of Clontarf Hill (FOCH) in partnership with the Cockburn Community Wildlife Corridor (CCWC) and the City of Fremantle have been successful in securing a number of Community Stewardship Grants from the State Natural Resource Management Program. This has provided us with resources to address woody w**ds and undertake revegetation. The South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare (SERCUL) are working with us to complete this project and the City of Fremantle is supporting the grant with w**d control prior to planting. FOCH are vigilant in looking after the area and demanding that Clontarf Hill and the surrounding bushland area be retained as local open space (as proposed by the City of Fremantle). Clontarf Hill connects the coastal reserves to the residential hinterlands to the east. It also connects the Manning Park ridgeline and wetlands northwards to Fremantle’s remnant valley and ridgeline parks. It is open space of regional significance that should be recognised as a Parks and Recreation Reserve in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).

Woohoo job almost done!! We can’t wait to see these seedlings thrive over summer now that the long depleted sand they’re planted in has a solid layer of excellent mulch, thanks to a grant from Simone McGurk MLA 🫶🌱 Thanks too to FoCH member Adam for making this happen, watching the conveyor at work as it spread 80+ m3 across the ground was quite incredible!!

From 8am Sunday we’ll be on site to even out some sections and make sure no seedlings are buried, please come down if you can and DM us your # if you’d like to be added to our WhatsApp bushcare group 🙌

Volunteer help needed for this Friday 9th October! We will be there from 7am (until 3pm if needed 😬)

The Friends of Clontarf Hill are so excited to have 100m³ of mulch being distrubuted around some of our rehabilitation areas on the hill (thanks to a grant from the office of Simone McGurk MLA !) . This will vastly improve survival rates for the plants but we need volunteers to help place protective buckets on smaller plants as the mulch slinging machine moves through the area, along with a final finesse of the mulch around other plants.

We are aware that weekdays are tricky for many but hope to get as many on board as possible, even if only for an hour or two. Many hands! Please comment below + send us a DM to get involved (the comment is so your message doesn’t go to our spam) 🤞💪🏽🌱

Not long until our AGM — everyone is welcome! 🌿

It’s a great opportunity to find out more about what Friends of Clontarf Hill does, connect with like-minded community members, and get involved. Memberships are available now if you’d like to get involved.

We’re also looking for more committee members to help support the volunteer activities that nurture and protect the bushland on Clontarf Hill.

We meet locally every six weeks, and there are plenty of ways to contribute.

Find out more on our website or get in touch with any questions. 🌱

This morning we had the pleasure of officially turning on the tap of our newly installed Cockitrough!

We were beautifully welcomed to Country by Elder Geri Hayden, before we heard from Josh Wilson MP, Ben Lawver - Mayor of Fremantle, Liam from City of Fremantle and Friends of Clontarf Hill Conveynor, Christine Duckham.

They spoke of community, caring for Country and the importance of lots of small actions, like this one, which cumulatively add biodiversity value to our local environment and importantly, provide a safe, clean, reliable source of water for all of the beautiful bird life who visit Clontarf Hill all year round.

Its located near the gates when you enter from Gorden Rd off Healy, come and check it out!

This cockitrough was funded thanks to Josh Wilson MP and the Australian Government’s Local Environmental Projects Program, supported by the Friends of Clontarf Hill and the City of Fremantle
